Formed in Poland on the night of October 31st, 1997, HARRIDAN is the occult manifestation of Shamad and his lifelong devotion to death, chaos and forces beyond human perception.
Never intended as a conventional band, HARRIDAN exists as a ritualistic entity and a vessel for an uncompromising metaphysical vision. Emerging from isolation and surviving years of silence, the project remains detached from trends, continuing a path established on its own terms.
Its history has been marked by personal turmoil, withdrawal and imprisonment, which brought the project to an abrupt halt in 2010. HARRIDAN eventually resurfaced with renewed intent, transforming decades of spiritual and sonic exploration into releases such as Magus Mortis, HUL and Nekroticizm.
The new album, “HUL“, is a ritual work dedicated to the Utukku Limnu, the evil spirits of ancient Mesopotamia. Built upon Akkadian incantations, it approaches evil not as a moral category, but as a primordial force existing beyond human belief and perception. Independent of gods, hierarchies and Western occult traditions, these destructive forces cannot be worshipped or controlled.
The lyrics follow a ritual inversion of the 28 celestial degrees of Aries, invoking the destruction of the lamb, the denial of light and the collapse of solar order. HUL is presented not as an interpretation of these forces, but as the result of ritual practice.
“HUL” album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Shamad at Silence Grave Studio during New Moons seasons. Released digitally on September 29, 2026, the album is available for listening at Forever Misanthropia Youtube channel.
